The Necessity of Aiding Rail-
roads Presented in the Chamber

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Minn, Nov. 21.-The follow
ing were present at meeting of the
chamber of commerce to-day: G. G.
Hartley presiding, w. F. Phelps secre-
tary, Mayor j. B. Sutphin, Judge o. P.
Stearns, and Directors c. H. Graves. B.
Silberstein, NJ. r. Baldwin. J. II. Triggs,
c. +. Shannon. w. +. Richardson. c. +.
Johnson, j. A. Seville and c. Louns
berry. A letter from President HOyt, in
relation to the survey for the Duluth IL
Red Wing was received that caused
slight rumpuS. When the question
came up last summer it was decided by
Mr.. Munger. on behalf of the commit
tee, that in exchange for terminal of
the road at the head of the lake, for the
general offices of the road, the round
houses and machine shops Duluth
would survey and locate the line from
Duluth to River Falls, and contribute
come when the survey should be made,
and there is feeling on the part of
Duluth that this survey should be made
in Duluth'S interest, and by men in
the employ of the city at public instead
of private expense. This led to dis
cusSiOn participated in by Messrs.
StearnS, Graves. Hartley Baldwin, Sev-
lille and others. in which the importance
of terminal facilities was brought out
in a stronger light than the matter has
ever been presented by the press or in
public discussion, and there was feel
ing on the part of all that the matter
must not be delayed. From the una
nlmity of sentiment shown it would
seem that the time is now ripe for action
in relation to voting city or county
bonds, not only to settle the question as
to the Red Wing, but as to the other
roads likely to seek Duluth connection.
and attention was naturally turned to
the Duluth Terminal company, to whom
the question of the Red Wing survey
was referred. The stock of this COM
pany to the extent of $4,000 has already
been subscribed. and it is believed this
organization can be utilized for the pur-
pose of controlling the railroad situation
in Duluth. SilberStein called attention
to the fact that the moment for final
action of the board of trade and other
organizations had resulted in no action
in the matter of freight determinations,
and moved the appointment of special
committee to confer with the railroad
authorities on the question. MeSSrS.
Silberstein, Chaplin and Ordeon were
appointed such a committee. The by
laws were changed so as to make the
regular meeting Tuesday at 9 a. M, in
stead of Monday at p. m.
A GOOD SCHEME.
Arrangements have been nearly COM
pleted between the Duluth d Iron
Range and St. Paul & Duluth road for
the running of Iron Range trains into
the union depot after Dec. 10. Supt.
Lee has been trying to make such ar
rangements for several months, and al
though it has not been fully settled, in
all probability trains will soon be run
ming into town, instead of stopping
mile or two from the business center.
The new arrangement will be very con-
venient to travellers and business men
who are in the habit of travelling on the
Iron Range road.
